The flowers look just beautiful in that stunning vase and the plants do look nicer to after their trim!🦉

How?

A lot of my Echeverias are getting ready to finish blooming. It's nice to know that I can cut the flower stalks early and enjoy them. They've been on for about a month now. I had no idea you could put them in water without them rotting out. Thanks so much for the information Deborah, I just love your succulent varieties and videos. I hope you have a beautiful day!

Love it 👍 They remind me of lavender stems!

Very pretty never thought to use the fliwer stalks

I agree that the plants look nicer without their lanky flowers. I think the flowers look great in the vase. It’s good to know that clipping the flowers off is not bad for the plant. Thanks.

Nice dear😍💚👌

This was helpful. But what about all my happy hummingbirds? They LOVE these flowers. :)

I think what debra did is just a suggestion it still depends of what you guys preffer and its not as if the birds will die if you deprive them with ur echieveria flowers they can find their own food you know.

Con lo que le quita al tallo se puede propagar la echeverria?

It is so sweet of you to do this video! I was gifted a beautiful echeveria Pollux a month or so ago; the mother plant is humongous and has three stems with buds growing off of the stems and also leaves but the buds are not flowering as of yet is it okay to cut these stems and should I put them in water once cut, since they have not yet flowered? Thank you in advance! ❤️

Yes, you can cut them and put them in water...or they'll last a long time as is. If there are little plants on the stem, you can cut those and plant them as well!

Ty so much 💓

How long do you leave the cuttings in the water? Will they route in there? Or can you just cut them and stick them right in the dirt and then they’ll grow from there

Hi Patricia -- The flower stems aren't cuttings, and they don't really need water, but giving them some will help them last longer. They don't root. For more about starting succulent cuttings, go to debraleebaldwin.com/succulent-questions-answers/#propagation

Can those leaves you brushed off be used for propagating with a rooting hormone? Or the stems for that matter?

Lots of info on my website, debraleebaldwin.com. Type "Sun" in the search bar.

So my echiveria is still quite small and the stems are tiny and brittle, flowers are dried out.. I came here wondering about when to cut them during these younger stages.. Any help is welcome, thanks!

Yes you can! It's called "deadheading" when you remove dry flowers. Snip the stem where they emerge from the plant.

Hi Sandra, May I recommend my best-selling book, Succulents Simplified? It's perfect for newbies like you!

So I read that the flowers produce seed. Do they still produce seed if you cut them from the plant? And do they ever root? Just curious.

@QueenofSucculents

5 жыл бұрын

Yes, they'll continue to grow and produce seed, providing they're mature enough. Do the flowers root? No, but sometimes plantlets form along the bloom stalk, and they can be cut off and rooted, as can leaves.

@@vopatina I'm guessing it's a thick stem with a few leaves attached? And roots are coming out where leaves are (or were)? Wonderful! But do cut off the flowers, so they don't drain the baby plant's energy.

No discussion about whether mother plant survives after flowering. Some do, some don't? Would have been useful info to include.

Echeverias don't die after flowering. Sorry, I didn't realize that needed to be stated. So few succulents are monocarpic; among those that do die after flowering are agaves, aeoniums and sempervivums.

Debra Lee Baldwin appreciate your response. Thank you for the clarification.

What about the pollinators who love them? I’m going to disagree with this unless they’re covered in aphids.

I just want to cut them off and throw the flowers in the trash to save my plant and you just showed us how to cut the flowers off to save them in a bouquet so I'm still looking for a better video
